Wizard's Journey

Chapter 678 The Challenger (Part Two)

Two months later, Aachenso faced its second challenge.

The reason was that the old wizard who challenged him for the first time had never been defeated, and despite his many victories, he was unable to challenge him again, thus blocking a large number of challengers for Aachenso.

If the rankings were stable, that would certainly be what Aachenso wanted to see. However, when Aachenso had the ambition to compete for the top spot on the Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking, the mere two months of waiting was simply torture for him.

Now, two months later, Aachenso's second consecutive victory is almost here.

Amidst the hazy, gray sky of the fragmented world, infused with strange energy, Aachenso turned to the golden monkey perched on his shoulder and cautioned, "Be careful, don't get ambushed over there again. Even though it's just a match, we can't let this happen again!"

If a soulmate dies, the wizard's own soul loses its potential for growth, which is undoubtedly a blow to the wizard.

"Chirp chirp chirp, I know, I know. Who knew that old wizard from last time would have that kind of ability?"

The golden monkey scratched its head with one hand and held a peach in the other. After taking a bite with a "crunch," it excitedly said, "Big brother, let's go, let's go! Let's see the challenge wizard this time. After we win, we only need to wait one more time to challenge that first-class honor medal demon hunter wizard named Grimm and take first place on the Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking! Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"

Roar!

The flesh-winged lizard chimera lay prone on the ground. After Aachenso, along with the golden monkey and two small metallic creatures, landed on the chimera's back, the chimera spread its huge wings and flapped them as it flew into the distance, leaving the ground vegetation in disarray.

A short while later, Aachenso encountered the witch who had challenged him.

"Chirp chirp chirp, big brother, big brother, he's my type!"

The golden monkey perched on Aachenso's shoulder, squealing excitedly, its eyes glued to the witch, practically drooling. Especially at the still-voluptuous curves beneath the wide wizard's robes, the little lecherous monkey's mouth stretched almost to its cheeks, its eyes narrowed.

"What time is it? Get to work!"

Aachenso glared at his soulmate, the golden monkey, who looked extremely unwilling, scratching its ears and cheeks. Even the two small metal creatures were hitting the golden monkey.

"Chirp chirp chirp, this is terrible, big brother! This witch is pregnant, and she seems to possess advanced bloodline witchcraft. She's experimenting on herself and her child!"

The golden monkey cried out.

"Be careful of the ring on her left hand; it contains a large amount of light element, enabling her to fly at supersonic speeds. And that earring of hers... Wow! Her bloodline magic is so advanced and pure..."

After the witch challenging Aachenso used her bloodline magic to transform, she turned into a giant withered ghost vine over ten meters tall, with a large number of exploding seeds flying all over the sky.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

This time, the fierce battle lasted for more than ten hourglasses. The two sides attacked each other, advancing and retreating, and the battle was extremely intense. As the intense battle lasted longer, the energy fluctuations became smaller and smaller, and the battle ripples gradually began to subside.

"Huffing, huffing, huffing..."

Amidst panting, the wizard's robes were charred black, his hair disheveled, and the ground was riddled with craters, each about a meter in diameter, a testament to the intensity of this protracted battle.

"Holy crap, that witch was really ruthless. It's unbelievable that she's refined and purified bloodline magic to such an extent."

After the golden monkey emerged from the soil, a wave of regret washed over me.

"One more is needed..."

Aachenso glanced at the gray, gloomy sky, feeling a mixture of excitement and melancholy.

…………

The third challenger, Aachenso, waited a full year.

During this time, in addition to waiting for the third challenger to appear, Aachenso was doing everything possible to gather intelligence about Green, and in doing so, he consumed a lot of resources.

However, when Aachenso held up some intelligence information about Green that he had collected, not only he himself, but even the golden monkey soul companion on his shoulder couldn't help but gasp, feeling an unbearable bitterness in their mouths and a chill down their backs.

What kind of terrifying demon hunter wizard has appeared in this battle for the Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking?!

First, a good start.

During his time as a wizard apprentice, he swept through the qualifying battles of the Holy Tower, defeating wizard apprentices from the eleventh to fifteenth domains. He secured first place in the Holy Tower qualifying battles with absolute strength, and became a seventh-ring Holy Tower prospective demon hunter wizard with absolute strength. He then went to the Heart of the World to obtain the World Fragment and advanced to become a formal wizard.

The intelligence gathered by the wizard apprentices already contained early information about this dual path called Grimm Body Tempering and Elemental Training, which is considered very early information.

Second, intelligence was obtained regarding the Medal of Honor, First Class.

He drew upon the magical source of the low-lying wizard tower and wreaked havoc in front of the gate to a world called the Flame Soul World, successfully escaping the pursuit of the world's ruler.

During his time as a first-level wizard, he fled from the clutches of the Lord of the World!?

Just thinking about a world ruler chasing him sent chills down Aachenso's spine. On the world battlefield, ordinary demon hunters would deliberately avoid the battlefield between holy mark wizards and world rulers. Generally speaking, the demon hunters who descended were stronger than the local world.

Third, the Thousand-Eyed Crab and the Mysterious Myriad-Headed Bird, both level three creatures, communicate with the mysterious power of the Steel Emblem Myna, a soul partner, and unleash devastating attacks that surpass level three.

These two level-three creatures were already overwhelming for Aachenso, let alone devastating attacks that surpassed level three...

Fourth, his secret identity as a wizard who participated in the Sixth Ring Holy Tower Academy War!

This intelligence is a bit too exaggerated. This wizard, Grimm, actually went to the Sixth Ring Holy Tower area alone to participate in the war between the two academies, and played an immeasurable role in influencing the course of the war.

When these pieces of information were put together, Aachenso seemed to see a powerful demon hunter dark wizard who combined strength, luck, experience, and wisdom. He was calm and intelligent, yet decisive in killing. Aachenso felt as if he were facing a huge shadow behind the fog, trying to challenge the other party.

The information about the third-place challenger has appeared in the crystal ball.

"Big brother, don't worry about that. As long as we defeat this challenger, we can challenge Green. If all else fails, the second place winner will also get a Time Item."

Aachensor gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "No, if I can't secure first place and guarantee a 100% advancement to a Level 3 Grand Wizard, I'd rather give up this Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking competition and wait for the next opportunity!"

Giving up means automatically losing the competition and dropping out of the top 100.

……

Two days later.

Amidst the fragments of the world, Aachenso chuckled softly, his voice filled with anticipation and excitement.

"Three wins in a row, Green, I can finally challenge you!"
